Field Trip to The Museum of Jewish Heritage

Thursday, May 16th at 4:30 PM

We will visit their newest exhibition titled “Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away.” Among the over 700 artifacts included in the installation are a German-made Model 2 freight train used to deport Jews to ghettos and concentration camps and a partial barrack from Auschwitz III-Monowitz, an Auschwitz subcamp, marking the first time major loans from Auschwitz to be used in an exhibition. The exhibit aims to contextualize the conditions that allowed for the free society of the Weimar Republic to fall into the madness of the Nazi regime and its murder of millions including Jews, Romani, homosexuals, political criminals and the intellectually and physically disabled.

More information to come.
